This weekend I want to see Reader be the lead blocker for D. Rodriguez as he vaults into the end zone! Maybe more than once.

Anyone know how "eligible number" is determined?

That's something I've never figured out.

The NCAA rulebook defines eligible receivers for college football in Rule 7, Section 3, Article 3.[1] The determining factors are the player's position on the field at the snap and their jersey number. Specifically, any players on offense wearing numbers between 50 and 79 are always ineligible. All defensive players are eligible receivers and offensive players who are not wearing an ineligible number are eligible receivers if they meet one of the following three criteria:
Player is at either end of the group of players on the line of scrimmage (usually the split end and tight end) Player is lined up at least one yard behind the line of scrimmage (running backs, fullbacks, etc.) Player is positioned to receive a hand-to-hand snap from the center (almost always the quarterback) Players may only wear eligible numbers at an ineligible position when it is obvious that a punt or field goal is to be attempted.
A receiver loses his eligibility by leaving the field of play unless he was forced out by a defensive player and immediately attempts to get back inbounds (Rule 7-3-4). All players on the field become eligible as soon as the ball is touched by a defensive player or an official during play (Rule 7-3-5).

Numbers 50-79 are usually ineligible numbers unless you are on field goal or punt....so if you truly want him to be a weapon, he has a number that is eligible to be a receiver. He has 48, so he is automatically an eligible receiver.

I guess I was wrong b/c I've always thought that any number could have the ball as long as the rffs knew it was going to happen or possibly happen before the play. But, very few of us know all the rules. Football has as many rules as a state has laws.

Yes you can "check in" as eligible

You hear refs say number so and so is reporting as an eligible receiver. And you have to line up in an eligible position.
But if you don't check in, its a lineman downfield penalty.

All number greater than 49 or less than 80 are considered linemen numbers. I think that if you play a player in a position where he may be a ball carrier or receiver with a linemans number you have to alert the officials when he enters the game. This only applies to offensive players I guess. This is my thought and may be debated as I am not a player , coach, official or real tigernetter who knows everthing

I have said that since I was a player. We had a guy, David Thompson, on that team who was, I believe the biggest player on the team, and he ran a 4.6 sec. 40, as well. I said then we should give him the ball on goal line or short yardage situations. With a head of steam, he would get yardage. Bravo to Dabo for innovation.

It is very bad, but he is still alive. There were false reports earlier this year that he had died, but the family immediately responded that the Fridge is still alive, and I believe he is doing some better.
